Approximately 8,222 crates of Driscoll's Conventional Strawberries (Fresh) are being recalled because they contain levels of the pesticide Etoxazole that exceed federal safety limits. The affected strawberries were sold in 8x16oz and 4x32oz plastic clamshell containers at retail distribution centers across several states in January 2022. Consumers who purchased these specific strawberries should not eat them and should instead return them to the store for a full refund.
Testing identified pesticide residue levels between 1.20 to 1.28 ppm, which is higher than the Maximum Residual Limit (MRL) allowed by the United States. Consuming products with excessive pesticide levels can pose potential health risks over time, though no illnesses have been reported for this specific incident.
Return to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact the manufacturer for further instructions
